Estate Planning, Probate & Wills

Washington County Estate Planning Attorneys

At Karpstein & Verhulst P.C., our Hillsboro estate planning lawyers
act as sound advisors when helping clients plan for their family’s
financial future. When creating a will or trust, it is important to make
sure there is no room for dispute or interpretation of your wishes among
family members. Leaving important decisions to the court, or to anyone
who may not understand your intentions or desires, can destroy the plan
you had envisioned.

Regardless of the size of your estate, you should make sure that your particular
wishes are carried out, which is why it is crucial that you find a caring,
competent attorney. Our firm has helped many families plan for their futures
over the last 30 years, and we can help you create an estate plan, will,
trust, power of attorney, advanced directive, or any number of legal mechanisms
customized to meet your needs.

Step-by-Step Will Planning

One of the biggest pitfalls people fall into when estate planning is failing
to consider all of their asses and create a legally binding document.
It is important that your estate plan is comprehensive—providing
specific instructions on how you want your estate to be distributed so
that nothing is left up for grabs. Anything left unaccounted for in your
will or trust can lead to disputes between family and friends, and may
even jeopardize the stipulations you did create in your plan.

When helping you plan your estate, we will make sure you consider the following
factors as necessary:

Conservatorships

Estate Litigation

Guardianships

Irrevocable Trusts

Living Trusts

Living Wills

Powers of Attorney

Probate

Small Estates

Trust Administration

If you have thoughts about how you would provide for your family or give
to charitable causes upon becoming incapacitated or deceased, our Washington
County estate planning lawyers are here to help. Our straightforward approach
can put you at ease and make you feel confident about your financial legacy.
